Continuum

Strife settles and smoothes;now only the silent bleed,the sluicing away of memory,the dim echo of long ago sirensthat sung the heart raw,until the vessel is emptyonce again and waitingto be filled.

There is that far horizon,that clean line across the mirrorof water like glass, soft lappingat one’s feet in pious devotion,and pebbles washing in a tumble,empty shells with crumbled edges,remnants of a life lived vulnerableand coiled tightly inside,grains of sand catching sun,remind one of serenitylong before it is felt.
